Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, Google contacts, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Groups and Google contacts integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and Google contacts (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Groups and Google contacts
Google Groups + Google Sheets + Google Contacts: When a new member is added to a Google Group, their contact information is retrieved (if available) or a new contact is created in Google Contacts. Finally, the member's email and contact details are added to a Google Sheet for centralized contact management.
Google Contacts + Google Groups + Mailchimp: When a new contact is created in Google Contacts or an existing contact is updated, this flow checks if they are part of a specific Google Group. If they are, the contact is automatically added as a subscriber to a designated Mailchimp audience (list) with a specific tag.
